Late For Changeover

Super Bowl, Super Meds, and the Return of Fort Bragg (Feb 12 25)


Listen Later

This week on Late For Changeover, the crew asks the hard-hitting question: can an Army First Sergeant throw a Super Bowl party in a war zone and still make formation the next morning? (Spoiler: probably, but you’ll regret asking.) We then pivot to Trump’s take on the Iron Dome—because nothing says “strategic defense” like naming it after a Marvel sequel—and dig into the VA’s ongoing love affair with handing out pills like it's a post-deployment candy buffet.

The episode takes a darker turn as we look at the real cost of overmedication for veterans, with a disturbing deep dive into the VA’s prescription of opioids and benzos—and the higher mortality rates that come with it. On a brighter note (kinda), Fort Bragg is back in the headlines, and we revisit Operation Homecoming, the 1973 POW return that had more feels than a reunion episode of Band of Brothers. If you're into News for Vets, military chaos, and darkly funny takes on defense policy, consider this your weekly dose of unfiltered truth (hold the benzos).
